About Christ The King Catholic Primary School

Christ The King Catholic Primary School in Wirral outperforms the local authority average for Key Stage 2 by a clear margin. While the Wirral average for pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined sits at 53%, Christ The King achieves 63% — a ten-point gap that places it comfortably above the typical primary in the borough. The school ranks 20th out of 64 primaries in Wirral, putting it in the top third locally and the top half nationally. This is a school that delivers solidly above the norm for its area, without being among the very highest performers. Its Roman Catholic character is a defining feature, and the school serves a mixed intake, with 18% of pupils eligible for free school meals — slightly above the national average for primary schools, which suggests it is not a selective or privileged intake.
